Physical systems can be naturally modeled by combining continuous and discrete models. Such hybrid models may simplify the modeling task of complex system, as well as increase simulation performance. Moreover, modern simulation engines can often efficiently generate simulation traces, but how do we know that the simulation results are correct? If we detect an error, is the error in the model or...

In this paper, novel hybrid MOSFET(HMOS) structure has been proposed to reduce the gate leakage current drastically. This novel hybrid MOSFET (HMOS) uses source/drain-to-gate non-overlap region in combination with high-K layer/interfacial oxide as gate stack. The extended S/D in the non-overlap region is induced by fringing gate electric field through the high-k dielectric spacer. The gate leak...

Based on MATLAB/SimEvents simulation platform and genetic algorithm, the simulation and optimization of energy consumption in hybrid flow shop is studied. Considering workshop layout and workpiece path, machining process simulation in hybrid flow shop is realized. With the processing time, processing power and stand-by power introduced into simulation model, the energy consumption simulation in...

Approximate simulation relations have recently been introduced as a powerful tool for the approximation of discrete and continuous systems. In this paper, we extend this abstraction framework to hybrid systems. Using the notion of simulation functions, we develop a characterization of approximate simulation relations which can be used for hybrid systems approximation. For several classes of hyb...

HARNESS is an experimental, Java-centric metacomputing system based upon the principles of dynamically reconfigurable, object oriented, networked computing frameworks. The reconfiguration capabilities of HARNESS are not limited to the computers and networks enrolled in the virtual machine but also extend to the actual capabilities of the computational resources themselves. These reconfiguration...

Internet technology as a widely accepted modern telecommunication standard has been widely extended to combine with numerous other technologies, e.g., satellite, ATM, wireless. This is what we term as Hybrid Internet. Along with this technology emerging, various enhancements and alterations of standard TCP/IP for di erent purposes have been proposed and studied intensively. More and more freque...

In the present study, a model of a large Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) battery for use in the simulation of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) is developed. To attain this goal, an Equivalent Circuit (EC) consisting of a series resistor and two RC parallel networks is considered. The accuracy and the response time of the model for use in an HEV simulator are studied. The battery parameters identifica...

As part of ongoing research at the CU-Boulder Fast Hybrid Testing laboratory, new methods are examined which can improve the hybrid testing process. One such method involves the use of a Field-Programmable Gate-Array (FPGA) which is capable of performing simulation computations on hundreds of degrees-of-freedom (DOFs), enabling the simulation of extremely complicated structures. While the curre...
